I seriously mean the word "redifined". Double ka meetha is an Indian bread dessert which involves frying of bread in oil. I have avoided frying here and I have also tried to add chocolate flavour to the bread. Really turned out very well. Vegetarians can also try this by avoiding the egg part and replace egg with 2 tbspn warm water and cocoa powder.
